On a side note, I would like to know which add-ons are people
using with courier. I have good experience with clamcour
(security/clamcour in FreeBSD ports) and a bit with
pythonfilter (mail/courier-pythonfilter in ports).
here's what we use with courier:
spamd & pf.
clamcour
crm114
roundcube
Are they all installed from ports?
from ports: clamcour, spamd, pf
from source: crm114, roundcube
if you could make the courier port build w/o fam that would
be great. i don't need or want fam and courier natters on
endlessly in the maillog.
Error messages in maillog telling about famd failure are sign
of famd misconfiguration. Been there. As mentioned in other
mail, I am inclined to make fam support optional in port.
Still, I would like to know more about usefullness of this (or
uselessness :) from the other side) to be better informed...

That's one of the benefits; but when FAM is present it also
enables some additional internal improvements to the way things
are handled when multiple clients are accessing the mailbox.
You might also be overlooking the fact that most modern IMAP
clients are poorly designed, and open multiple connections to the
same IMAP account, at the same time, for no good reason.
So, even if you THINK the multiple access situation does not
apply to you, you're in for some RUDE surprise.
